Planning: Continuity Piece

We all originally researched thriller openings in order to gain some ideas and inspirations, we looked at many different scenes including the scene in Batman: The Dark Knight in which Harvey Dent is kidnapped. We analysed the scenes, looked at the various shots they used and how they were edited in order to grasp an idea about how we should go about filming and editing our intro. We then got together and brainstormed ideas and each proposed separate ideas for a film eventually coming up with a prolonged kidnapping scenario. After this we storyboarded our ideas and made notes of the various angles we'd use and the settings in which we'd film some of the sequences. Once the storyboards were done we wrote scripts and shooting scripts for the scene as we needed a certain amount of dialogue in our continuity piece. After that we went through our plans and storyboards and made alterations in order to improve our piece. Once all the planning was finished we finally got down to filming the scene using mostly the Canon 550d. However as we were filming we constantly came across new ideas for our film therefore ignoring the intended ideas we originally planned in our shooting script and storyboard meaning we had to make certain alterations to these plans after we finished filming. We also filmed more than we needed as we thought a variety of different shots and sequences would be helpful as we would be able to compare and eventually conclude in which would be the better footage to use.
